st. Petersburg, Feb. 19th--It is
semi-oilicially stated in Russian
Government circles, and the con-
viction is gaining ground that war
between France and Germany is in
evitable. In addition 1t is said that
in case of the defeat of France it
might involve disastrous results to
Russia. The Cars Government
will, in the event of war, preserve
entire liberty of action. 1t will not
support France as an ally, but may,
in the form of reserved attitude,
prevent Germany from sending the
whole of her army west of the
Rhine, and even if France should be
defeated, ameliorate as much as
possible the effects of the disaster.
For these reasons it is declared Rus
STA will await the outcome of the
different phases of the Bulgarian
crisis with the greatest calmness
and act in such a way as to avoid
being involved with Austria or
England at the moment when France
and Germany commence hostilities.
Vienna kilograms again refer to
Russia's war preparations. The
statement quoted is that Russia in
anticipation, is arranging for the
concentrating of two armies on the
German and Austrian frontier. The
former is intended to prevent Ger
man help from reaching Austria,
should Germany be strong enough
to dctach troops for such a purpose
while engaged in the struggle with
France, and the latter to engage
Austria, while third Russian army
in the southeast will make short
werk of Bulgaria and march on
Constantinople.
At the British War Office and
Admiralty the opinion grows hourly
that Russia's movements on the
Afghanistan frontier mean simulta-
neous operations against Bulgaria
and Afghanistan, and that Austria
and England will meet her on those
fields.
